    Nothing is more important than family. Because without our families, most of us would be nothing.
    This one has a V8.
    Why not just make a V6 faster?

    Especially with me - I have one broken-ass family. My grandfather (86, alzheimers, dimensia, and not much energy), mother (horse-riding accident, fell off her belgian draft horse and crushed her tibia/femur right through her patella), and little brother (spine fusion surgery from Taekwondo, plus falling off a loading dock, but his fall being broken by his leg catching onto the truck and ripping things out of place) ALL have handicapped tags because they're all jacked up

    How I stay sane / healthy, I have no clue

    I have had a spinal fusion, a level II fusion. The bottom vertebrae (L4, L5, S1) are all fused together...that hurt too. Titanium rods, a bone graph from my hip to cover it. and I think I got like 6 screws to hold it all together.

    Dang that sucks. I have 3 Herniated disks in my neck. I have been avoiding surgery until I have to. I hear too many horror stories of people being worse off after surgery. Robbie, are you any better or worse with the surgery? My doctor told me to hold off until I felt it was a last option. He said I'll need it eventually.

    I share in the pain. I have cervical and lumbar issues, from several car wrecks, and they werent even my fault. I was in an MR2 and the firewall saved me. I was sitting still at a red light when a wood-paneled station wagon hit me from behind and it was doing about 50, which was like 100, @ impact point. I have the herniated disks, permanent nerve damage, very little of an SI joint left in the right hip. I have one disk that is protruding into my spinal chord. Surgeon said we could operate, but if he flinches, I'd be paralyzed. Migraines are a way of life.......and are tolerated, with medicine. So, I keep it to myself......tough things out and endure.....see my limits fast-approaching, as I get older. Oh, and to add to the excitement, I only have one kidney that works (the right one developed a stone..the largest the doc had ever seen, and it damaged the inside to where the kidney wont work). I now keep UTI's and maintain a bleeding bladder. Urologist wants me to see a nephrologist to try to determine why that kidney developed the stone, so it can hopefully be stopped and not happen to the other one, or else I may get a 98 Daytona......beautiful blue.......casket.

    And, for fun.........I work 50 hrs a week in a highly stressful job (that I actually do enjoy), now working for 1 full time and 4 part time Attorney Generals.

    And I live for AUTOFAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    The will to survive is truly amazing.

    I will have to say I am better (so far) after this surgery. I had a couple of discectomies that didn't last....but the fusion has been good. But the back is a little different than the neck. I think I would hold off as long as I could as well. I was losing feeling and movement in my legs, so I kinda had to.

    Hopefully you do. Hang in there and plug away at it. I myself may not have the car done for the show. I am quickly running out of time to complete the car.

    I know the feeling David...time is going to be my biggest enemy as well!! I have a few things going on that if any of them go wrong, it would cancel it for me.
